Adding another occy...overstocking?

Hey Everyone,

I currently have a lonely occy that is about 1.25" long and the little guy is living in a 12g biocube along with a Court Jester Goby and a bunch of invertebrates. The livestock list is below, including hitchhikers for fun. I would really like to get another occy in hopes of pairing, but I'm worried that I may be overstocking in terms of both space and bio-load. Is three fish too many for the small tank? I'm currently running a small protein skimmer that is semi-efficient. I would love any comments or suggestions.

Thank you,

Andy

Fish:

Inverts:

1 Emerald Crab
1 Margarita Snail
1 Nassarius Snail
1 Turbo Snail
1 Feather Duster

Hitchhikers on my 9lb of liverock:

1 Uknown MASSIVE Worm
1 Uknown bi-valve (Likely an Oyster)
 
I accidentally wrote 12 gallon, instead of the correct 14 gallon. My apologies...maybe the two gallons will make a difference.
 
your "little guy" might be a girl by now depending how long its been there alone. If you keep up with your water changes i think another clown isnt a problem.
